Lidocaine for pain control after spine surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through an IV during surgery can help reduce pain after lumbar fusion surgery. It may lead to less need for other pain medicines and a smoother recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine through a vein after elective spinal fusion surgery can help prevent confusion (delirium) and reduce pain. It may help people recover more comfortably and think more clearly after surgery.
This trial tests whether a lidocaine infusion during spine surgery affects the electrical signals used to monitor nerves. It may help doctors adjust monitoring for safer surgery.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through a vein can improve pain control after open abdominal surgery. Patients will also receive morphine as part of their spinal anesthesia to see if adding lidocaine helps reduce pain and side effects.
This trial is testing a numbing medicine placed near the spine (erector spinae block) during lumbar spine fusion surgery. It aims to see if it helps control pain and may reduce the amount of anesthetic needed during the procedure.
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
This study tests if adding a lidocaine infusion during surgery can help patients recover faster and with less pain after major non-cardiac surgeries like colorectal, urology, or hernia repair. It is for adults who are healthy enough for surgery but may have some health conditions.
